Carmike theaters, including our Maryville Foothills 12, will be showing select kids movies this summer for a $4 admission price (which includes a small popcorn and small drink!) These movies are always well-attended, so if you’re planning on going, get there early!

This summer’s movies are:

ALVIN AND THE CHIPMUNKS – ROAD CHIP

THE CROODS

EPIC

HOME

HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON 2

KUNG FU PANDA 2

MONSTERS VS ALIENS

RIO 2

THE PEANUTS MOVIE

THE PENGUINS OF MADAGASCAR

The Carmike Summer Kid Series begins Thursday, June 2 and runs through August 4. Movies run every Thursday at 10:00 a.m. The above schedule is good for our Maryville theater only; if you’d like to see the schedule for another Carmike theater, go here.

I found this deal on one of my favorite Facebook pages: Read Aloud Resources. It worked for me, although my account was in “inactive” status and I had to completely cancel first, then sign back up.

Audible is doing a “Come Back to Audible” promotion for 2 months for $0.99 each– As far as I can tell, it works for any current account that is not enrolled in Audible right now. (I couldn’t use it on my enrolled account, but it worked for both my husband’s and mom’s accounts that were not active.) My mom received an email with a button to click… it brought her to the shopping cart with this promotion code applied: 153IMUXOB324

So perhaps you can sign in and choose “Gold membership” and then enter the above code? The link here is what was attached to the button in the email…looks like it works ok!

My husband did not received this email but I was able to sign into his account and get the promotion… so it looks like the promotion is not attached to certain accounts– just those that aren’t active. Try it!! Hope it works!!

**Edited to add… I was able to cancel my active account and immediately use the link below to get the promo! (After they gave me a free book to try to get me to stay!) Just make sure you use up your credits before cancelling your active account! I don’t think they will save once you cancel!**

By the way, Amazon Family is the new name for Amazon Mom, and it’s free to join. Just go here for how to sign up! You will always get 20% off your Subscribe & Save diaper purchases if you are a member of Amazon Family and you have Amazon Prime. I always set my shipments to 6 months, and then cancel if it’s something I don’t think I’ll need in the future.

Every year, the Knoxville Symphony Orchestra stops in Maryville for an evening of music at the Theater in the Park on the Greenbelt (behind the courthouse.) This year the event will take place at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, May 26. Bring your lawn chairs, blankets, picnics, (umbrellas if rain is in the forecast), and plan to enjoy a wonderful evening of music. Best of all, it’s free! Go here for more info.

Recently we had a chance to go to Dollywood with a friend who had three free “bring-a-friend” passes, which is the best deal ever! However, there are four people in my family so I nddede an extra child’s ticket. I was SO excited when a friend shared a discount code to get more than $20 off ticket prices! She said the code should work through May 15; I cannot promise that the discount code will work for you but I tested out and it made my daughter’s $52 ticket $35 before tax, so YMMV but I hope this proves helpful!

Go to the Dollywood website, and when you click on “tickets,” you should see the following promo code box, above. Before you do anything else, enter code XCEL and hit “apply”. This should make the $65 adult ticket $43.50, the $52 child’s ticket $35.50. You will need to be able to print these tickets and bring them to the park.
